CTS, believe me, this game was the absolute perfect example of the people at the game having a different take than those not at the game. It was impossible not to get wrapped up in it all, normally sane people were going nuts well before the final whistle. DrJ and myself nearly went hoarse booing the scumps off at half time, let alone full time.
I've been to just about every SCG game since they came to town and I'd say this was as cranky as I've ever been and as cranky as I've ever seen the crowd. We were livid. Now whether we were as hard done by as we thought we were at the ground could be debated. I've watched the replay and it's hard not to be slightly biased by the commentators who didn't appear to be as indignant as us fans at the decisions.
As for your second point about booing why don't we boo the AFL.
FFS, that's exactly who we were booing from the time the scumps left the ground. Everybody to a man who booed has said they weren't necessarily booing Lloyd or Essendon, but the whole situation. I wasn't surprised the knobs in the Melbourne media would conveniently overlook that fact and condemn us as unsportsmanlike. I'm disappointed one of our own didn't understand that.

right on!!
the view of those that were actually there, differ greatly to those that watched the sanitised version on tv. i saw both.
it really does make a huge difference.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I wasn't actually at the game, but having watched it on tape I can honestly say someone would have had to stop me jumping the fence to strangle that incompetent bunch of umpires. I would have been booing right along with if not louder than everyone else. However I still think we deserved to lose but not get robbed by dodgy umpiring.Red & White forever.Comment

Booing is bad sportsmanlike. I was hearing all the booing on the redio when trying to listen to Loid Essanddon accept the MIGHTY Marn Grook Trophy for the best National player when the booing was incessant. I was thinking that a player winning a trophy should not be booed even if he is being a run-away house boy.Comment

Awesomwpost.Every free we give away, the offending player/s should say "Great decision ump - I made a crap tackle or something like that.... " to the umps. "I will try not to do that in the future......" I am a good player and I am trying to learn from my mistakes.......!
The boys with the whistles are always right and we need to play by the rules. Even when they are wrong they are right. We are in a loose - loose situation. We have to learn this lesson and get on with it. I don't ever recall seeing a game result changed by bad umpiring being reversed.
The league will not allow one side to direct how the umpires direct the game and we need to be seen to be following the leagues directions.
We will be put in our box either on the ground, in the back rooms of the locker room or by media. Be seen to be toeing the corporate line in the short term.
And if you are going to give away a free kick, make it worth it!

Demetriou's fingerprints are all over the new rule changes. Last year they targetted our defenders with their rule change; this year our forwards, especially Bazza. That arrogant @@@@@ is determined to avenge the humilation he suffered in 2005 when the Swans proved him so wrong (at least, that's my conspiracy theory).Occupational hazards:

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
14) Vistitors from other sites
You are most welcome to join in discussions on RWO, but remember, you are a GUEST on our site. Abide by the RWO Forum Rules or we WILL ban you.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
